This section tells an employing agency how to pay money due to a deceased employee. It also allows regulations for settling the account and gives special rules for District of Columbia employees and Government corporations.
(a) Under regulations that the Director of the Office of Personnel Management may prescribe, the employing agency must pay money due to a deceased employee to the beneficiary the employee designated under section 5582(b) of this title. If there is no such beneficiary, the agency must pay the money to the employee’s widow or widower.
(b) The Director may prescribe by regulation how to settle accounts payable under subsection (a). However—
(1) the District of Columbia must pay the accounts of its government employees; and
(2) Government corporations or mixed-ownership Government corporations may pay the accounts of their employees.
Under such regulations as the Director of the Office of Personnel Management may prescribe, the employing agency shall pay money due a deceased employee to the beneficiary designated by the employee under section 5582(b) of this title, or, if none, to the widow or widower of the employee.
The Director may by regulation prescribe the method for settlement of accounts payable under subsection (a) of this section. However—
accounts of employees of the government of the District of Columbia shall be paid by the District of Columbia; and
accounts of employees of Government corporations or mixed ownership Government corporations may be paid by the corporations.
